Yeah I did, he needs to set the AI range higher so it moves in when I'm further away, It moves after i get so close though, and then flanks me with it's warp ability, and general speed.

It's basically a designer fault.

Ok I finally decided to d/l it and give it a try.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Oh, so thats what AI control does.

My new ship, the Anti-Aegis Cruiser:



Specifically designed to get around aegis, this ship is loaded with improved railguns and plasma launchers, but it needs to be protected by other ships.

BTW people, just for clarification. It was Kacen who introduced myself and Mathias to this game, and I introduced Kenny and Nidmister to it. So you can thank Kacen for this little plague none of us want gone.



His capital ships.

ive always loved games were you could customize your own stuff. im so glad i found this topic

meh his ships are not as cool as spaceball one...... i got 10 mega beams on each side not counting the big guns lol
how many deflectors did his ships have? because mine only had 10 (which isnt much considering spaceball one has over 100 different peices lol)

I just made my first ship, it's not much and I don't know how to assign a target for the Aegis Deflectors .

I'll post a screenie soon.

[Waris]

Select module, right click section, 'Target with Module', etc. etc.

[Soul]

I tried to put my ship in the sandbox, but I got an error :( .

[Zancloufer]

What was the error? What did it say?

[Soul]

This is the Error.

ERROR in
action number 1
of Create Event
for object __newobject759:

In script nTur:
Error in code at line 24:
	   l_section[argument5].l_child[l_section[argument5].l_childnum] = l_weapon[j]

at position 6: Unknown variable l_section or array index out of bounds

Edit: Also thanks Waris, I was able to get the Aegis Deflectors targeted on my ship.

[Dr. Strangelove]

What I do when I get an error is keep a copy of the bugged version and rebuilt the ship from the ground up, testing at different intervals to find out whats buggged at whats not.

Huh?

[Dr. Strangelove]

One ship I made was bugged.It consisted of five main parts:Core,Frontal Batteries,Wings(2),and a rear defense section.

What I did was:

1)Build Core
2)Test Core
3)If Core Works, proceed, if Core doesn't work, build slightly differently and try again.
4)Build Wings
5)Test Wings
6)If Wings work, proceed, if the Wings don't work, build slightly differently and try again.
7)Build Frontal Batteries
8)Test Frontal Batteries
9)If Frontal Batteries work, proceed, if they don't work, build slightly differently and try again.
10)Build rear section
11)Test rear section
12)If the rear section works, proceed, if it doesn't work, build slightly differently and try again.
13)Done

So, basically just test it as you build it again, and keep the bugged one as a guide to work with.

[Areze]

I prefer making shaps that are a bit more practical, and less like the compensation going on here. But here is my Frigate, the Segetsia



As you can see, flanking is this things worst nightmare, but the front is quite powerful.

EDIT: I got no idea where this came from, but hey; It looks alright for a boredom-born fortress-thing.

I still don't understand .

[Sgt. Nuker]

The Segestia's aft end is listing hard to starboard . Me thinks that's your signature design trait Areze .


Regards,

Nuker

[Dr. Strangelove]

I really don't know how to make it any simpler, rebuild it from the ground up.

[Sgt. Nuker]

If you're talking to Areze, I don't think that's exactly the best comment to make towards his ship. If you don't like it fine, but.....ah heck, you've been around long enough, you know better .


Regards,

Nuker

Edit: Unless you were directing that comment towards Soul. In that case, disregard my former comment .

[Dr. Strangelove]

It was adressed to Soul.

[Hobbesy]

I feel the same as Areze about ships, or in my case: Corvettes and Frigates. XD

Oh and, I have A LOT more ships than displayed in this post, somewhere near 35 already. These ships I made two days ago so they weren't very advanced like the ones I have now. I'm pretty good at building small things that are hard to hit while at the same time packing a minigun based surprise.

[Areze]

The Segetsia seems pretty straight to me, might be the angle it's at. But every shipwright has his way of making his art known so .

I made a battleship, lemmie get it up.

EDIT:

The Thor.


Avoid this thing's broadsides if you like your paintjob.

That's just the tip of the ice-berg, literally!

It should be done by tommorrow, possibly tonight!
